Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend tells you in Japanese, “Okay, we’re here. Take off your shoes and let’s go in.” You respond in Japanese, “You want me to take off my shoes to go into this Japanese bar? Back home, all the bars are so dirty. Are you sure this is a good idea?” Your friend replies in Japanese, “Yes, I’m sure. This is not like any place you’ve ever been before. Stop whining and let’s get you a drink so you can relax.” Once you’re seated at the table, the waiter comes over to take your order, and you tell him in Japanese, “I’d like a sake.” He responds in Japanese, “Great. What kind of drink do you want?” You respond in Japanese, “Is there more than one kind of sake?” Your friend intervenes and adds in Japanese, “My friend will have a Midori sour, and I’ll have the same, thanks.” You tell your friend in Japanese, “That’s not a sake…” Your friend replies in Japanese, “Trust me, the drinks are great here. And by the way, the Japanese use the word sake in more ways than you think.”
